Introduction  
Your new electric oven is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has  
been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.  
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.  
The oven is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.  
Note: When the oven is first used, an odour may be omitted - this will cease after a short period of use.  
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a minimum of two to three hours, keeping  
the door/s closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons  
who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell  
has ceased.  
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and any moisture absorbed by the insulation.  
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:  
(a) Has been used solely in accordance with this booklet.  
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate, attached to the  
appliance.  
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the  
manufacturers authorised employee or agent.  
(d) Has been correctly installed.

Setting Time and Date  
In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven,  
this appliance has been equipped with a cooling fan.During  
cooking, the fan is always on and a normal flow of air can  
be heard exiting between the oven door and the control  
panel.  
Selecting the language  
Press button 3 for a few seconds with the oven turned off.  
The languages available appear in sequence on the display  
panel. Press button 3 again to select the desired language.  
In order to raise the temperature inside the oven more  
quickly during pre-heating, the speed of the air outlet is  
approximately half the speed of air outlet during cooking.  
If there is a hob above the oven, the cooling fan may switch  
itself on automatically to protect the electronic  
components, even if the appliance has been switched off.  
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until  
the oven cools down sufficiently.  
Setting the clock  
The clock can only be set if the oven is turned off.

Each cooking mode is also associated with a  
recommended cooking time, which you can modify, from  
one minute to 10 hours, by pressing button 2 and then  
turning control "C" to set it to the desired value. The cooking  
time can be adjusted until the scrolling wording disappears  
completely from the display panel. The selected cooking  
time does not include the time required for preheating the  
oven.  
At all times during the Minute Minder operation, you may:  
adjust its duration using knob "C";  
stop the countdown by pressing button 4 for  
approximately 3 seconds or turning knob "B" anti-  
clockwise;

The Controls  
Once the temperature set has been reached, the oven starts  
the cooking stage itself, during which you may still:  
“Fast cooking”  
h
Position knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C.  
All the heating elements are activated alternately, and the  
fan comes on, guaranteeing constant heat distributed uni-  
formly throughout the oven.  
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed  
food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as fro-  
zen or pre-cooked food as well as for a few “home-made”  
dishes.  
change the temperature by turning control "C"; if you in-  
crease it by more than 25°C, the oven returns to the pre-  
heating mode;  
change the cooking time by pressing button 2 and then  
turning control "C";  
enable/disable the control panel lock, by pressing but-  
ton 2 for at least 3 seconds (see the paragraph enti-  
tled "Locking and Unlocking the Control Panel");  
stop cooking and turn the oven off by turning the function  
selector "B" anti-clockwise.  
The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking” mode  
are obtained if you use one shelf position only (the second  
from the bottom).  
Once cooking is finished, the wording "END-READY" will  
come up on the display, and a buzzer will sound, which will  
stop after 1 minute, after you press a button or after you turn  
one of the two knobs.  
Multi-cooking  
i
Position knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C.  
All the heating elements are activated alternately and the  
fan comes on. Since the heat remains constant and uniform  
throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uni-  
formly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also  
cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their re-  
spective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum  
of 2 shelves can be used at the same time, following the  
instructions in the section entitled: “Cooking On More Than  
One Shelf”.  
This cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes  
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably  
prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne,  
pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover,  
the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower  
temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss  
of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the  
loss of weight for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is espe-  
cially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the  
addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining  
their flavour and appearance. Excellent results can be at-  
tained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like cour-  
gettes, aubergines,peppers etc.  
Cooking modes  
The cooking modes are selected by turning the function  
selector "B".  
Traditional  
f
Position knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C.  
The top and bottom heating elements are used. In this mode,  
the coolest part of the oven is the centre. The convection  
oven is best for cooking dishes made up of several ingredi-  
ents, e.g. tender veal strips with rice, braised meats, stews,  
goulash etc. and dishes that need to cook slowly and re-  
quire basting or the addition of liquid and cooking using cov-  
ered casserole dishes for oven baking. When cooking in  
convection mode, only use one baking tray or shelf at a  
time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Using  
the different shelf position available, you can balance the  
amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven.  
Select from among the various shelf positions based on  
whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.  
Pastry  
Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened  
cakes.  
g
Position knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C.  
The "Multi-cooking" mode can also be used to thaw red or  
white meat, fish and bread, by setting the temperature to  
80°C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the temperature  
control to 60°C.  
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guarantee-  
ing delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.  
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -  
especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation  
of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a  
few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits,  
savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables  
au gratin, etc…..  
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and  
place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom.  
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your  
dishes in it.  
Pizza  
j
Position knob “C”: between 40°C and 250°C.  
All the heating elements are activated alternately and the  
fan comes on.  
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high tempera-  
tures to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one  
baking tray or shelf at a time. However, if more than one is  
used, these must be switched halfway through the cooking  
process.

Position knob “C”: between 40°C and 200°C.  
The top central heating element and the fan come on.  
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of  
the heating elements through forced circulation of the air  
throughout the oven. This  
helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing  
the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are  
achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,  
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail,  
pork chops, etc.  
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes  
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while  
locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also  
highly recommended for dishes that require a high tempera-  
ture on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, ham-  
burgers etc...  
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking.  
Note: turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the 3 differ-  
ent energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%),  
medium (75%) and maximum setting (100%) respectively.  
All cooking using “Gratin” must be done with the oven  
door shut.  
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like sword-  
fish, tuna etc.  
Setting the Oven to Switch On and Off Automatically  
To programme the cooking mode, follow the instructions  
below:  
select the cooking mode by turning the function selector  
"B", and the temperature by turning control "C".  
After these selection procedures, the display panel will  
show the time at which preheating will commence (where  
required), and that at which cooking will finish. The finish  
time can still be altered up until the cooking mode and  
temperature reappears on the display panel. Any incorrect  
data can be corrected simply by repeating the above  
instructions.  
set the cooking time by pressing button 2. The  
recommended cooking time comes up on the display,  
and you can adjust this by turning control "C". Please  
remember that the time entered does not include the  
necessary pre-heating stage.  
set the end cooking time by pressing button 1. Turn control  
"C" until the display panel features the time you want  
the food to be ready. The display panel will feature the  
end cooking time and the start time is calculated by  
subtracting the cooking time, as well as the time  
necessary for the oven to preheat (automatically  
calculated by the appliance according to the cooking  
mode selected).  
This information will now be remembered until you press  
start or turn selector 2.  
press button 4 to start the programme.  
To modify the settings made, press button 4 for  
approximately 3 seconds and repeat the above  
procedures.  
To cancel a cooking programme  
To cancel any programme which has been entered, turn the  
function selector "B" anticlockwise until the word "OFF"  
appears on the display panel.

ing the food in the centre of the grill pan (situated on the 3rd  
or 4th shelf from the bottom), because only the central part  
of the top heating element is turned on.  
To catch any fat and/or grease that may drip from the shelf,  
place the baking tray provided on the first shelf from the  
bottom.  
When using this mode, we recommend you set the tem-  
perature control to the highest setting. Lower temperatures  
can also be set, simply by setting the temperature control to  
the temperature required.

rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only  
to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part.  
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end  
of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to  
pasta bakes.  
cooking, use two of the three central shelves; the lowest  
and highest shelves receive the hot air directly and there-  
fore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these shelves.  
As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf from the  
bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat  
on the 2nd shelf from the bottom. For example, when  
cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the  
roast on the 2nd shelf position from the bottom and the  
more delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bot-  
tom.  
When cooking food that require differing times and  
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere  
between the two temperatures required, place the more  
delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom  
and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.  
Use the baking tray on the lower shelf position and the  
shelf on the upper;  
When using this mode, place the shelf on the 2nd or 3rd  
shelf position from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to  
prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the  
oven and thus smoke from forming, place a baking tray on  
the 1st shelf position from the bottom.  
Important: always cook in “Gratin” mode with the oven  
door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent re-  
sults and to save on energy (approximately 10%).  
When using this mode, we advise you to set the tempera-  
ture control to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use  
the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. How-  
ever, this does not mean you cannot use lower tempera-  
tures, simply by adjusting the temperature control to the de-  
sired temperature.

Cooking Advice  
Cooking Fish and Meat  
Baking Cakes  
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature  
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.  
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while  
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a  
high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then  
turn the oven down afterwards.  
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make  
sure you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly (the  
red oven indicator light "E" will go out). Do not open the  
oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping.  
In general, if:  
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature  
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place  
the grill pan/baking tray beneath it to catch the fat.  
Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre of  
the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat  
from below, use the low shelf positions.  
Pastry is too dry  
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the  
cooking time.

Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the shelf  
supplied with the oven. If the baking tray is used, this  
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a  
crispy crust;  
It is cooked well on the inside but sticky on the  
outside  
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is  
cooking;  
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we  
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top  
halfway through the cooking process.  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase  
the cooking time.

Care and Cleaning  
- Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch  
off the main switch before all operations.  
Disassembling the oven door  
The oven door can easily be removed to clean the space  
between the bottom of the door and the front of the oven. To  
disassemble the door, proceed as follows:  
- open the oven door fully,  
Inside the oven  
We recommend you clean your oven each time you use it,  
especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to  
prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the  
residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is used  
and would char and release smoke and unpleasant  
odours.  
- lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges,  
- shut the door, but not completely,  
- grip the door on the two external sides and pull it towards  
you, pulling it out of its seat.  
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures  
in reverse order.

Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of  
your oven using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making  
sure you rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using  
abrasive or corrosive products which could damage them.  
Stainless steel  
Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using  
a soft cloth.Use a specific non-abrasive product to remove  
tougher stains,

DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.  
To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you must  
never be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We  
strongly advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet in  
direct contact with the heated enamel coating could melt  
and damage the enamel coating inside the oven  
irreversibly.  
Replacing the oven lamp  
- Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply  
before all operations.  
- Remove the glass cover of the lamp holder.  
- Remove the lamp and replace it with a lamp resistant to  
high temperatures (300°C), with the following characteristics::  
- voltage 230/240 W  
Cleaning the rotisserie and other accessories  
The rotisserie can be removed completely using the 2 wing  
nuts. Theelementscomprisingtherotisserieassemblyshould  
be cleaned together with the other accessories (baking tray)  
in the sink using a damp sponge and ordinary detergent or in  
your dishwasher.  
- wattage 25 W  
- type E 14  
Rubber Seal  
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which  
guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of this  
seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it using warm  
water and dry thoroughly.  
DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so. Should  
the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint Service  
(see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We recommend you  
avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.  
- Replace the glass cover and ensure you reposition the  
seal correctly.  
- Reconnect to the power supply.
